Probably a game of telephone, just seeing if anyone can confirm a message:

“Whole koko head range starting on 8/24 will be rimfire only…because of ‘lead contaimination’ “

Something like that.

Formal announcement is coming.
Expect the pistol, rifle and silhouette range to be shut down for a while.

Not because of lead.
22lr is to prevent riccohets  till improvement is made to existing berm. Work should start later this year.

Well that sucks. Thanks for the heads up

So ccw quals are only at indoor.

CCW's were supposed to be handed out ending of this month.

And would probably include some qualification tests.

And now this.

Didn't they do a lead contamination clean up a short time ago?

 

Is this for the rifle and pistol ranges?  Not official, but word I got/saw was both rifle and pistol ranges to be .22 lr only.  If ricochet and berm maintenance is the issue, then I would think rifle range only.

Sucks either way and understand word of mouth until official notice posted/released. 

Just as I am about to have more free time to hit the range.  Guess I'll plan on shooting more .22 lr rifle. 

Rifle, pistol and silhouette

..22 lr only or rimfire only ?
.17 hmr, .22 WMR etc ?

They recently re-did the berm on the rifle side.

watch the news on tuesday is what i'm hearing...

There was a high angle bullet strike on a car in Hawaii Kai a week ago, though the person is unsure exactly where it happened and where the bullet came from.  A bullet was recovered from the car and police report made.

It could be related to that, though I don't think a ricochet would do that, more like a round shot high.  If it was planned range maintenance, then notice would've been made a lot earlier.  Don't think it would be related to lead poisoning either.

so if there was a cat colony and months later a Chinese restaurant opens up in the same block....

There was a drunk driver on kapiolani so at femme nu, only A cups allowed

There was a high angle strike that happened a few weeks ago along the pistol side handi cap parking.

Feline Colonialists?

So where is the notification about 22lr only and why? Nothing on the KHSC website that I can find. 

because this is not official yet
we are reporting what "they" say
i am on the rangemaster's email list, and nothing has been said at all
watch the news tomorrow, that's when i am hearing it will be announced

plus, the KHSC website is not an official website...

Even at high angle I doubt that bs. Go through a metal roof? I watched a video where they shot 9 and 45 straight into the air and land less than 1 inch deep of desert sand. It was a myth buster type of experiment. Kinda like how if you drop a penny from empire state building and kill someone. And to say a ricochet (where it loses even more energy) and fall. More like someone intentionally did that. Not to mention all parts of vehicles have a DOT rating, including the roof. Then has to pass the inside liner.

I didn't even know bullets can ricochet off a dirt or sandy berm.  I guess it's similar when we skip stones off the water surface?  But bullet configuration vs. the flat sided surface of a stone......

A shot aimed in the air makes sense to me.  But if that was the case, why are they re-building the berms?

Sorry gang, just thinking out loud.  As it was mentioned, I should just shut up and wait for the official report and announcement scheduled for today.
